Unique and Key Features of BEEcube Technology

BEEcube technology is based on configurable platforms that address real world conditions and run at real speeds. Some unique architecture schemes to accomplish this include:

Reconfigurable HPCbee features

  • Scalable, Full Speed Interconnected Modules
    • from single modules to full racks
  • Full Speed Network I/O
  • Massive Memory
  • Supports Large Designs
  • Flexible Expansion Options
    • SFP/SFP+, ADC/DAC, HDMI

Honeycomb Architecture

  • Symmetrical “4-FPGA” based Module Architecture
    • Allows for redundancy and high availability,
    • Allows for single large cluster application or multi instance applications,
    • Easy “upgrade” path to increased capacity and capability,
      • Scalability from single modules to full racks,
      • Up to 20 modules in each 42U rack,
  • Direct and Independent Interfaces per FPGA including (depending on platform):
    • 2x 10GBase CX4, PCI‐E, QSH‐DP (40 LVDS pairs), 10Gbps Ethernet, UART, 2x DDR2 channels, SD card, and RS232, or
    • 8x QSFP+, 4x FMC (HPC),4x PCI-­‐E 8 lanes, DDR3 channels, 4x Gigabit Ethernet
  • Large Built-in Trace memory (depending on platform):
    • Up to 64GB of DDR2 ECC RDIMM server grade memory or,
    • Up to 128GB of DDR3 ECC RDIMM server grade memory
  • Modular, stackable and scalable 2U form factor, rack capable enclosure and chassis.

Nectar Distributed OS

  • Distributed (per FPGA) C based OS, for FPGA/interface communication, transparent to the target design,
  • Allows for direct real‐time speed debugging - signal, register, memory access, probing and manipulation,
  • Allows for direct high‐speed host/server bi-directional communication (API)
  • Built-in support for PCI Express, CX4, 10GB Ethernet, UART, ADC/DAC, SATA, Optical interfaces etc,
  • Provides layered access to user defined environments including: internet, protocols, applications, simulators, and acceleration schemes etc,
  • Integrated with Matlab, Simulink and Xilinx System Generator

Sting I/O

  • Prebuilt “IP” for inter FPGA and Module interfacing including Gigabit Ethernet, 10G CX4 SERDES, and memory, etc.
  • Supports approved ADC/DAC modules up to 3 GHz
  • Supports very fast Virtual FPGA Pin Structure • Supports high speeds -20Gbps (Full Duplex)
